Becker Avionics General Description Scope of Functionality DV15104.3 Issue 06 September 2018 BXT6500 Series 21 Interfaces 1.5.8.1 ARINC 429 The ARINC 429 specification is a standard how avionics equipment and systems communicate on aircraft. The specification defines: • Electrical characteristics. • Word structures. • Protocol for bus communication. Electrical and data format characteristics are defined for a two-wire serial bus with one transmitter and up to 20 receivers. This simple architecture provides a highly reliable transfer of data. The bus is capable of operating at a speed of 12.5 kbit/s (low speed) or 100 kbit/s (high speed). For detailed information about ARINC 429 specifications please refer to: www.arinc.com. Copyright Note ARINC: ARINC429 is a privately copy written specification developed to provide interchange ability and interoperability of line replaceable devices (LRUs) in commercial aircraft. ARINC stands for Aeronautical Radio, Inc. 1.5.8.2 Logical Inputs/Outputs The hardware design of BXT65 series provides a subset of inputs and outputs required for transponder operation. 1.5.8.3 Status and Control Ports The hardware design of BXT65 series provides a subset of ports for provide information about transponder status and for controlling. 1.5.8.4 Internal and External Memory An internal or external memory is used as configuration data source, saving aircraft data installation and configuration data. On start-up BXT65 series reads from this non-volatile memory configuration data which include parameters specific to the actual aircraft and installation. Typically, an external memory (EM) is used. If BXT65 series is replaced e.g. for maintenance, so the new BXT65XX can be connected with the external memory module in this way it is guaranteed that all relevant data is available for fast & easy exchange. We recommend the usage of the External Memory module EM6100 as data source. Built-In Test BXT65 series has advanced Built-In-Test. It monitors most of internal circuits against failures.
General Description Becker Avionics Scope of Functionality 22 BXT6500 Series DV15104.3 Issue 06 September 2018 Summary of Operational Description • The BXT65 series is continuously monitoring incoming RF signals at frequency of 1030 MHz for radar interrogations. • When an interrogation is detected and decoded, the transponder processes it and generates a reply which is transmitted at radio frequency of 1090 MHz. • Transponder replies allow an ATC ground station to locate, identify and track an aircraft. • With use of interrogations and replies it is also possible to send data to and from an aircraft. • The device provides transponder functionality for Mode A/C and Mode S operation. • The BXT65 series periodically transmits squitter, which are transmitted independent on interrogations from ground stations. Two types of squitter are generated: • An acquisition squitter carries 56-bit data allowing acquisition of the aircraft is transmitted approximately once per second. • Extended squitter carries 112 bits of data and are used by ADS-B transmitter function.

Installation Becker Avionics Mounting Requirements 42 BXT6500 Series DV15104.3 Issue 06 September 2018 Antenna Cables The antenna installation needs to comply with following limitations: • The total attenuation of a connection between any antenna and the equipment, including cables, connectors, microwave switch (if used), etc. shall not be more than 3 dB. • The connection attenuation difference between antennas shall not be greater than 0.5 dB. • The signal delay of a connection between any antenna and the equipment shall not be greater than 75 ns. • The signal delay difference between antennas shall not be greater than 20 ns. It is recommended that "Top" & "Bottom" antenna cables have similar length. In case of different antenna cable length for bottom and top antenna it may be conceivable that different kinds of cable types are used. 2.3.6.1 Attenuation: Cable length vs coax cable type Data below shall be used as guideline only. cable type max. loss delay RG400 0.5 dB/m 4.7 ns/m RG142 0.42 dB/m 4.7 ns/m RG393 0.29 dB/m 4.6 ns/m ECS310801 0.11 dB/m 4.1 ns/m ECS310701 0.10 dB/m 4.1 ns/m
Becker Avionics Installation Mounting Requirements DV15104.3 Issue 06 September 2018 BXT6500 Series 43 Antenna Installation For antenna installation, refer always to the manufacturer´s maintenance documentation for the aircraft. Carry out the antenna installation in accordance with AC 43.12-2A Chapter 3. Penetration of the pressurised cabin on a pressurised aircraft requires additional data, which are not contained in this installation manual. Radiation risk: A safe distance to the installed antenna must be ensured by corresponding installation measures around human body damage (e.g. at the eyes) and/or avoid the inflammation of combustible materials by radiated energy. The picture shows a typical location for top and bottom antenna installation for Diversity Mode S transponder. For single antenna device install only the bottom antenna. Figure 5: Antenna Installation (diversity) Transponder antennas should be installed as far away as practical from: • Other antennas. • Shadowing produced by other installations on the surface of the aircraft body. • Exhaust path of the engine(s). • Landing gear doors or other openings. • Check the skin panels for sufficient bonding before the antenna installation. • Separate the transponder antennas from DME and TCAS as much as possible (approx. 1.8 m or 6 feet as guideline). • Generally, transponder antennas should not be installed closer than 3 ft to the transponder. Otherwise RF interference may occur. • Mount the main antenna on the bottom of the aircraft fuselage in a vertical position, same as the top antenna. Horizontal separation of both antennas should not exceed 7.6 meters (25 ft). • Follow the manufacturer´s installation instruction for the antenna to ensure achieving maximum performance of the BXT65 series. • If existing antennas on the aircraft will be used an inspection of the area between antenna and the aircraft skin is highly recommended to avoid negative effects of possible corrosion in this area. • On composite aircraft, add sufficient ground plane material.

Becker Avionics Installation Configuration Data DV15104.3 Issue 06 September 2018 BXT6500 Series 63 2.8 Configuration Data The BXT65 series must be configured with the characteristic aircraft data. The BXT65 series configuration is stored in a non-volatile memory. There are two possibilities where to store or load configuration data (see "Data Source Configuration" page 56): • Usage of the internal memory or • Usage of an external memory module. • We recommend the usage of the External Memory module EM6100 as data source. Configuration of BXT65XX with EM module The configuration parameters of the BXT65XX with EM module can be set directly by PC via "EMP Kit" and the corresponding software program. Detailed information is available in "EMP Extended Memory Programmer User Manual", please see "Order Code", "Available Documentation" page 32. Configuration of BXT65XX with internal memory • The usage of the internal memory as configuration data storage can only be approved when customers have and maintain an own configuration data base. o It is a condition to store the current configuration data in the configuration data base. • If the internal memory is used it is necessary to install a service connector at a suitable place inside the aircraft to be able to configure the device without removing it. For detailed information please contact Becker Avionics. For relevant department and addresses, please see contact info page 2. For wiring example - service connection - see also "Figure 27: Software Update – Aircraft Installation" page 64.

Operating Instructions Becker Avionics 74 BXT6500 Series DV15104.3 Issue 06 September 2018 3.2 Start-up Built In Tests (BIT) BXT65 series has advanced Built-In-Test. It monitors most of internal circuits against failures. In addition BIT monitors some external (installation) conditions to increase reliability. There are three types of BIT implemented: • PBIT (performed after Power ON the device). The test routine PBIT checks: o System integrity, o Software integrity, • IBIT (initiated by special command via ARINC protocol). The test routine IBIT checks: o Transmitter operation • CBIT (which continuously check operation). The test routine CBIT checks: o Reply transmissions, o Squitter transmissions, o Transponder receiver operation, o Interfaces operation, o System integrity, o Equipment temperature, o Internal voltages. Extended Temperature The BXT6553 contains an internal heater which heats the device(s) at low temperatures. • In case the internal temperature is below -40 °C during power-on of the device(s), the transponder remains switched off. • As soon as the heater has increased the temperature above -40 °C the transponder is switched on. o During this period the transponders is inoperable and will supply an XPDR Fail signal. • This period takes at maximum 20 minutes at nominal supply voltage. 3.3 Operating Operating with OEM Controller For detailed information please refer to the manual of the respective OEM product. 3.4 Read Out and Reset Error Flags It is possible to read out and reset error flags. This can be done by the connected OEM product, for detailed information please refer to the manual of the respective connected OEM product.
